Description:
Creation Goddess, Cosmic Mother
According to the Greek Olympian creation myths, Gaia sprang from formless chaos. She is the first being. Existing before Time, for Time was one of her children, (Cronos). She is the earth itself, who gives birth to the sky and calls him Uranus. She then creates the first race of gods and the first race of mortals.
Gaia is a very ancient deity, and we have no way of knowing how she was originally worshipped. The Classic period Greeks took over her sanctuaries, but could not eliminate her so probably adopted her.
